Summary: The ramblings of a war god and the love he lost.

The Lost Love of War

They say everything gets better with time. When you're a god, time is all you have. These days eternity drags on a bit to slow. Warlord after Warlord appeasing, fighting for my favor. None to no avail because none will fill that spot. When will it stop? Eternity does me no favors. Being one of the only two Gods left on Olympus, time laughs at me. Its always a fight between love and war. I'm done. Its old.

Its just not the same anymore. It was all more fun when she was still here, thwarting my every plan. Id be lying if I said I didn't like it. Yeah, it was an inconvenience, but I lived for it. Yearned for it most of the time. I think I only did it to see her. I knew she would come running. It was our game. Our way of getting close, but not too close. I played my cards right. Tried not to push her to much. She would smile, shake her head and move on to the next village that summoned her or where her heart lead her. Sometimes I went too far, and every time she forgave me. Saw me for what I could be. Who I am now?

Now? Well now the fun is over, and pain takes its place. She fueled the fire in my cold heart and now its flame is burning out. All but the last bit of spark that saved my soul. Who knew the God of war could be saved? She did it though. I no longer care who wins or lives, or even dies. As long as I get to fuck with the ones whom harm the innocent. She would do that right? She'd be proud? Look how far I've come. She brought my cold heart to life. Now everything I do is for her. Cause its what she would want. The little sis helps to keep me on track. As annoyingly painful she can be. Reminding me of what was. There's that pain again.

Id do anything in my power, have done everything in my power to bring her back. I've crossed this whole world from Mount Olympus and back again searching for her and her soul. Crossing dead ends every time and realms I could not pass. With no one to run the underworld she's lost. Even to me. It hurts to even breath anymore and now all I do is just sit. Sit in this chair, this so-called throne, thinking of how it could have been. If she were here now, id drop this whole God gig and join her and blondie on the road. It takes a while getting used to, but I'd do it.

Id tell her how much I loved her every second of everyday. She was my whole life and only reason to survive this Zeus forsaken eternity. How I wish I could just follow in her footsteps and join her at her side. Death with her would be better than this existence. If only my pain in the ass didn't destroy that damned dagger. No means anymore for a God to die. Id end it in a snap. But I can't. And she's gone. And I wallow in my self-pity.

Finally taken from me by the good of her heart. Her soul was saved. Journey of redemption over. Hell. I was proud of those first years, but Id take em all back if I knew it led her down this path to her end. Now here I sit basking in the memories of what is no more. I close my eyes just so I can see her beautiful smile once more. Her piercing blue eyes searing mine. And that long dark hair flowing through my fingers. Perfect lips that oh so long ago touched mine. I still feel them on mine. No one has touched them since. Those long, stunning, tan legs. I could get lost in them for days. The way her body would wrap around mine. And the leather. My god the leather.

I open my eyes a smirk on my face and a slight twitch elsewhere. She'd kill me if she found out what I was thinking. Bring it on. I laugh outload before sighing. Slouching even further in this throne. Silently continuing with the meaningless existence going on around me. I look up, hoping wherever she might be, that she hears me. They do say the dead can hear our thoughts. I love you my warrior princess. Always have and always will. For eternity.
